About this fabric

This 300 gsm fabric combines a warm cream background with rust-red and burnt-russet leaves, ochre accents and fine olive-brown stems. The medium-scale botanical repeat creates a continuous, interlocking surface, with the darker foliage adding depth against the lighter ground. It has a 137 cm usable width, with a 42 cm vertical repeat and 46 cm horizontal repeat. The supplied specification records 52 threads per cm and a standard length of 60 m.

How to use it

Use Bamboo Russet/Siena for curtains, occasional upholstery or a statement chair where its warm cream ground can soften the deeper russet foliage. Echo the russet with leather or terracotta, and balance it with olive green and natural wood.

Pair the warm russet and cream palette with natural timber, olive accents and quietly patterned furnishings.

Paint that goes with it

Two ways to take the room. Both colours are from houses we hold, so a pot can come off the same order as the cloth. Screens shift colour, so treat these as a direction and bring the cloth to the shelf before you buy the paint.
